8 0

Answer:

Silk cloth was extremely valuable in Ancient China. Wearing silk was an important status symbol. At first, only members of the royal family were allowed to wear silk. Later, silk clothing was restricted to only the noble class. Merchants and peasants were not allowed to wear silk. Silk was even used as money during some Ancient Chinese dynasties.

Keeping Silk a Secret

Silk became a prized export for the Chinese. Nobles and kings of foreign lands desired silk and would pay high prices for the cloth. The emperors of China wanted to keep the process for making silk a secret. Anyone caught telling the secret or taking silkworms out of China was put to death.

Which house of the general assembly must a bill originate in?
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

Bills may originate in either house, but may be amended or rejected by the other

Explanation:

Bills may originate in either house, but may be amended or rejected by the other." In general, a bill becomes law after passing both houses of the General Assembly with a majority vote and receiving the Governor's signature of approval. A bill may start out in either the House or the Senate.

A bill is researched in a chamber, given a number, and sent to a committee. ... Then, the bill is brought to the floor of the chamber and put to a vote. If the bill passes, it is sent to the other chamber of the General Assembly, who then sends it to a committee. If that house approves, it is sent to the floor for a vote.

The governor has the power to veto a bill. If the governor vetoes a bill the legislature may override the veto by a three-fifths majority vote in each house. Laws that have passed the legislature and signed by the governor are called public laws or statutes. A bill may be introduced in either the House or the Senate
